    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    The AP will be meeting jointly with the EOP Committee to continue the comprehensive review of the Council's Ecosystem Approach to the Fisheries Management (EAFM) risk assessment. The Committee and AP will review and provide feedback on existing and potentially new risk elements and their definitions for inclusion in an updated risk assessment. Risk elements identify an aspect that may threaten achieving the biological, economic, or social objectives that the Council desires from a fishery. The risk assessment review will continue throughout the year with revised draft risk assessment update for Council review and approval anticipated in the fall of 2023.
